Boom! Blueprint for building Zion was already revealed to the prophets?!! I was thunderstruck by this book. Building Zion involves the application of strategic economics? We've been neglecting our duty for over 100 years? What is going on?The long lost principles in this book are like the Sword in the Stone, half buried in moss and overgrowth. The truth has been here all along, we just haven't recognized it.

Yes! I, too, found existing Zion books soft and murky. I so appreciate this version - God bless you for doing this of your own free will and helping to establish righteousness!

Every chapter is a revelation of new perspectives about Zion It was rather surprising to discover that the early leaders of the LDS Church seemed more focused on building Zion temporally than spiritually. I had no idea! In fact, every chapter in this book is a revelation of new perspectives about what Zion is and our responsibility for building it.

A motivation to change and be supported by the Lord’s principles of Zion. I’m grateful to Jesse - for his time and labor in bringing the words of the Brethren, concerning Zion, together. Hopefully many will read and the Lord, by the Spirit, will testify that the words are still true; the concepts still valid; the work of building Zion still before us.

More than a compilation of quotes... This is a practical guide that tackles several areas in which one can begin to build a Zion life and a Zion community. The author thoughtfully points to early teachings of the leaders of the Church and brings them forward to the here and now.

Novice Researcher's Dream Pondering on the possibility of a Zion community has been on my mind for many years. This author has taken the time to compile facts from reliable sources that will give a novice researcher like me many hours of learning from those who truly understand. Look forward to it becoming a physical copy to put on my shelf!

Remember to build Zion. A wonderful compilation of revelation on the subject of Building Zion in the Latter-Day Saint meaning. It makes us remember how much is still to be done. Thanks for the love and dedication which has gone into this book.
